Fraus

What is Fraus?

Fraus is a rendering engine based on Vulkan and written in C. It is a personal project that I started in order to learn Vulkan and rendering. It is still in development but can already be used to display a single object.

Plans

I am currently working on adding first person camera controls. I will then work on being able to display multiple objects. After that, I may start working on a GUI to be able to easily create scenes, or I may start working on a ray tracer.

At the moment, Fraus only fully supports Windows, but parts of it are compatible with Linux. I want to make it fully compatible with Linux and MacOS in the future.

Why "Fraus"?

Fraus is a rendering engine, it renders images that mimic reality. Therefore, it is kind of misleading and mischievious. Also, it is based on Vulkan, which is the name of the Roman god of the forge. It then seemed reasonable to use "Fraus" which is the name of the Roman goddess of deception.
